Manhattan is home to a plethora of restaurants. Jadinou and I could never test them all. We would be the size of dump trucks, and still never finish. Restaurants come and go. The good ones stick around forever.
Ayza is an example. I found this restaurant on Groupon back in 2008. My first trip was in the Winter, and I returned multiple times. However, it has been about 3 years since returning. This past week I "travelled" to the West Village to dine with some great friends, and of course A. We went to a Brazilian restauarnt, and upon leaving passed a 'new' Ayza. Its bigger than the Midtown restaurant, but the quality of food and service remain the same.
Of course, my friend N had to say "Isnt this the restaurant you reserved for my birthday a few years ago? It was delicious!! A, has Megan taken you?"

A's response : "NON!!!" --- A gets emotional when he finds out I havent shared a hidden gem of a restaurant. I guess it goes with the territory of being a chef.

So... that began me thinking about a Date Night at Ayza.... which happened on Thurday. We had a wonderful meal that began during happy hour ($5 glasses of amazing wine! $5 appetizers) and continued until about 9pm. Check out the photos for the scrumptious cheese platter. For A, that was the best part. A little flavor of 'home' in NYC. He was in French heaven, in the West Village. You need to also remember that every time we go out and order cheese he always says "eh, its okay."

I hope you will all try and pop in. Let them know Girls En Ville sent you!!! And definitely eat some chocolates... I dont have the heart to ruin that for you all. But you should know there are 9 types of truffles different, and a special tasting for 9 choices... do it. Again, empty calories that are out of this world.

Poulpy & Jadinou

Where do we begin?

We are two girls, living approximately 3000 miles from one other. 3628 to be exact. One in Paris, the other in NYC. Our idea was to have a shared space where we can vent, suggest cool places, recipes, as well as test drive new products, all the while hopefully offering some fun to our readers in both French and English.I'll butcher the romantic language later... Jadinou take it away...xoxo Poulpy (Megan)
